And so the Queen’s Speech continued…

Meanwhile, at the House of Commons the opposition leader ‘Jeremy Corbyn’ spelled it before ‘Boris Johnson’s’ nostrils. However, Mr. Jeremy in his response to the Queen’s Speech said:

“Mr. Speaker, there is never been such a false as a government with a majority of minus forty five (-45) and a 100 percent record of defeat in the house of commons, setting out a legislative agenda they know cannot be delivered in this parliament.

“The Prime minister promised that this Queen’s Speech will dazzle us, on contrary inspection, Mr. Speaker it is nothing more than… gold”.

Responding to this, ‘Boris Johnson’ said: “By his prospect, he might actually become the prime minister and all I have to say is that he is not alone in that fear, so is most of the opposition to judge by their actions, most of the House of Commons and indeed most of the country. And I can give him this reassurance, this conciliation that I intend to do everything that I can to prevent all that from happening”.
